FRISCO — The Missions closed out a 2-5 road trip by getting blanked for the second time in the series and the fourth time in 19 games Thursday in front of 4,864 at Dr Pepper Ballpark. San Antonio wasted several scoring chances, leaving 11 runners while going 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

The club is hitting a paltry .080 with runners in scoring position during the past nine games, getting just six clutch hits.

James Needy (0-2) was sharp for most of his five innings of work, allowing a fourth inning solo homer and a two-out RBI hit in the fifth after he walked a pair of hitters.

Compounding matters was another double-digit night of strikeouts at the plate. The Missions whiffed 10 times and have struck out 61 times in the last six games.
